The Pattern Basket

Pincushion Pouch

I have lots of new patterns coming in the next couple of weeks that I am really excited about, and I can’t wait to show them to you!

I’ll start off with my smallest design, my Pincushion Pouch. I love to take my projects with me when I travel so I've designed this sweet little take-along pincushion. It measures 6" by 3" by 2 1/2".

Fun, fast and easy to make, and best of all it zips up so you won’t lose any of those pins – perfect for quilting classes and handy to bring with you wherever you go.

Pattern coming soon!!

Come visit my blog again soon – I’ll have much more to show you.

I love ending the week with a good day and yesterday was a good day!! Jenny and her 5 year old pony "Just Curious" were Reserve Champion (2nd over all) at a local horse show and she was so excited. It was fun to watch them shine!

A New friend!

This is Jenny, our animal-loving 12 year old. She asked if she could bunnysit this little guy for the next couple of weeks.

How could we say NO?!

What’s one more pet....right! lol

Love this funny face!!

Almost Ready

Here's a sneak peek of one of my new pattern designs. The fabric collection is Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Fig Tree for moda fabrics. So so pretty - I just love those warm soft colors and this fabric collection is full of them.

I am off to do a little quilting. I'll be back very soon with more pictures.

Feeling the Heat!

It has been so hot here this past week ... with 99% humidity the temperature has reached 117 degrees! I am so thankful for air conditioning, but our poor animals sure feel the heat.

I took this picture of Jenny giving her pony a shower.

If it's hot where you are I hope you're finding a fun way to stay cool!

Happy 4th of July Weekend!!

Happy Birthday America

Happy Canada Day!

Happy 143rd Birthday Canada!

Day Dreaming

Introducing my newest pattern - Day Dreams.

Designed using a Jelly Roll from Moda's Martinique collection by Three Sisters. I love the way the block in this quilt comes together. Simple, easy and fun!!

I hope you like it.

Website Makeover

I haven't posted for a couple of weeks because it's been so busy around here. I’ve been working on new quilt designs that I'm almost ready to share with you, and also on my website makeover. My website is still a work in progress but we are almost there. I would love for you to come by and have a look around.

Can't wait to hear what you think?

Sunny Afternoon

I spent yesterday afternoon with our playful puppy Logan. It was such a beautiful day that I couldn't resist taking some time away from work to spend some time with this guy. Thought I would share a couple moments of our photo shoot after lots and lots of play.
